Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox 875 18k Yellow Gold Automatic circa 1971

This Jaeger LeCoultre Memovox reference 875 is a striking example of early 1970’s design, combining strong proportions with one of the brand’s most iconic complications. The 18k yellow gold case measures an impressive 37 mm in diameter with a 45.5 mm lug to lug length, giving the watch exceptional wrist presence and beautifully balanced proportions.The silver sunburst dial is fitted with applied baton markers featuring onyx inlay, adding depth and subtle contrast against the warm tone of the gold case. The overall design is clean, refined, and unmistakably characteristic of high end Jaeger LeCoultre production from this era.Power comes from the Jaeger LeCoultre calibre 916 automatic movement, one of the later high quality Memovox alarm calibres. The Memovox complication, developed by Jaeger LeCoultre in the 1950’s, became one of the manufacture’s most celebrated innovations and remains closely associated with the brand today. Produced circa 1971, this reference stands out due to its large case size, elegant onyx details, and sophisticated combination of sportiness and refinement.
